A soaring, resort style community, constructed of shimmering glass is now more than a pretty picture, as it truly comes to life along Lake Shore Boulevard in Etobicoke's Humber Bay Shores. The unique elliptical tower is currently taking form overlooking the shores of Lake Ontario, its raw concrete form already presenting promising results. The Waterscapes Condos, developed by the Monarch Group and designed by Graziani + Corazza Architects, are well underway and construction is coming along smoothly.
In March Monarch reported on the status of the construction and since that time construction has been proceeding as promised: with each week another floor is being added to the tower, and at this rate, expects that the concrete will be completed up to the 30th-floor penthouse level by mid to late August. Precast panels, windows, interior plumbing and electrical infrastructure are following up the building of course.
The tower offers breathtaking views of the lake and skyline while the unique exterior design of alternating balcony pairs—with their ceilings painted black—gives the building a distinct character on the local skyline. Inside, luxury features will be found in both the suites and the amenities. In the suite, bathrooms will include a soothing spa style Rain Shower in separate shower stalls which includes vapour resistant ceiling spotlights. All balconies and terraces are to include electrical outlets, and kitchens include stainless steel appliances as well as a kitchen island with wine fridges.
With all these lavish features and the scenic location, it's not surprising that 95% of the units have been sold already. The first Waterscapes residents will be able to enjoy their suites and growing neighbourhood in Mid-2014.
